The legal syntax for url patterns is defined in the servlet spec, but is
normally either a path match pattern ("/foo/*") or an extension match
pattern ("*.foo"). Note that the URL to be used does not need to have
anything to do with the name of the servlet class. For example, if you
used the following servlet mapping:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/bar/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
and you install this webapp with a context path of "/foo", then you could
access this servlet with a URL like this, with the various parts of the
URL defined.
http://localhost:8080/foo/bar/extra/path
